Application filed January 30, 1909. Serial No. 475,229.

To all whom if my concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN BERG, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Cigar and Cigarette-H'oldcr and Smoking-Pipe; and I do hereby declare that the following description of my said invention, taken 1n connection with the accompanyin sheet of drawing's, forms a full, clear, an exact specification, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. a This invention has eneral reference to improvements in a com ine'd cigar and cigarette holder and smokers pipe; and it consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination of parts and details of construction as hereina ter first fully set forth and described and then pointed out in the claim.

1 In'thedrawings alread referred to, and which serve to illustrate t 's invention more fully, Figure 1 is anelevation of my improved smokers pipe and cigar and cigarette holder. Fig. 2 .18 alongitudinal sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the device, the pipe being removed and the tubular member reversed to adapt the device for use as a cigar l older, the cigar being indicated in dotted mes.

Like parts are designated b corresponding'sym 01s of reference in all t e figures.

The object of this invention is the production of a convenient and serviceable smokers article comprising a cigar and cigarette holder and smokers pipe,' which article shall, preferably, be made in metal and lined with a substance or material which will prevent the smoke, saliva, and the products of combustion of the tobacco from coming in contact with the metallic parts of this device as I shall now proceedto more fully describe.

A in the drawings designates the ipebowl. 'It is, preferably, made of a s setmetal shell 10, having a branch or shank 11, slightly tapering at its outer end and centrally pierced by a passage 12, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 2. The interiorof this bowl as well as the branch 11 are lined with a layer of a non-conductor of heat 13, such as papier-mach, asbestos, or other material,

and then the inner surfaces thereof saturated or coated with water-glass. or silicate of soda or potassium 14, whereby the. interior of the pipe-bowl and its shank are made impervious to moisture, and, therefore, always ina clean and sanitary condition. To this bowl A there is attached, by a hinge 15, a cover B,

which cover is supplied with anumber of holes 16, to provide for access of air to the bowl to aid combustion.

C is the pipe-stem. It has in its cylindrical body a central bore 17 the outer end of which is enlarged to receive a mouth-piece D, which may be made of rubber, celluloid, amber, or other suitable material, the stem C being preferably made of wood and having its outer end fitted with a ferrule 18, to prevent the wood from splitting. At the inner, reduced, end 19 of this stem there is a slightly-taperin ferrule 20, terminating in a nipple 21, the o ject of which will hereinafter more fully appear. a E is the cigar and cigarette holder and also serving as means for holding the pi e-bowl. It is a tubular structure having slig ing bells or sockets 22 and 23.respectively, the latter socket being adapted to engage the ferrule 20, as shown in Fi 3, or, when reversed, to engage the shan 11 of the pipebowl A. The interior of this tubular mem ber E is lined with wood as indicated by the reference-letter 24, having a central passage 25, all as clearly illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3.

t y taper- 19 thereof, there is a tubular sleeve F, the

forward end of which is slightly tapered at 26, and adapted to fit the tapering or bellshaped socket 22, so that when the tubular member E is placed with its larger bell 22 upon said tapering portion 26 of the sleeve F, there is frictional, but removable, contact of these parts and making a tight joint thereon, the mpple 21 on the stem engaging the enlargement 27 in the bore of the member E so as to properly locate and sustain the said member E upon the pipe-stem C. It will now be observed that when the member E is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the larger bell orsoeket is in frictional en agement with the sleeve F of the pipe-stem so that the pipebowl A may be inserted with its shank into the smaller socket 23, while if the pipe-bowl A 'is removed the socket 23 may receive a cigarette, its internal diameter being made small enough to adapt it for this (purpose,

while when the memberE is reverse so that the Smaller socket 23 engages the pipe-stem C and im regnatin glass, I have prmIuced a and the larger socket 22 is outermost, the lattcr socket is adapted to receive a cigar G, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3.

It will thus be readily seen that the device hereinbefore described is adapted for use as a cigar and a cigarette holder by lacing the intermediary tubular member 15in one or the other position, and that by securin r the pipebowl to the socket that is adapte to hold a cigarette, it is also adapted for use as a smokers pipe.

I have heretofore stated that the pipebowl is by preference made in metal and lined with a non-conductor of heat, but it is evident that this bowl mafy also be made in wood without departing rom the scope of my invention.

I prefer to make the outer parts of this device in metal, such as German silver, aluminum, etc., but I may also make the same in silver and gold. When made in the baser metals I prefer to plate them with a coating of the more recious metals and thereby produce an el gant, and serviceable article which may be readily carried in a persons pocket or in a suitable case.

By lining all the metallic parts with wood the latter with wateripe and cigar and cigarette holder which wi not be saturated with the obnoxious oils and other poisonous matters produced by the combustion of the tobacco, thereby avoiding all the objections to metallic or wooden pipes etc., while retaining their desirable features.

Havin thus fully described this invention, I c aim as new and desire to secure to me by Letters Patent of the United States- A combined cigar, cigarette, and pipeholder com rising a pipe-bowl havi a tapering sha a plpe-stem; a mouth-piece in said pipe-stem, and an intermediar piece, there bei on said pi e-stem a metal 'c, double-cone sIiaped shel secured to said pipestem at one end, the forward end of said pipestem being talpered, said intermediary piece having a smal flaring bell at one end adapted to engage the tapering end of the pipe-stem, and a larger flaring bell at its other end and ada ted to e age the tapering end of said dou le-cone sll aaped shell upon said pipestem, the said smaller end of said intermediary piece enterin the annular space between the tapering en of said pipe-stem and the double-cone-sha ed shell.

In testimony t at I claim the fore oing as my invention I have hereunto set my and in the presence of two subscribin witnesses.

JO N BERG.
